理工科研究論文投稿的習慣(幾乎)都是獨家投稿，然而這種投稿習慣 並非是用所有領域，比方說，美國法學領域就不是這樣。 就以下文章可見，作者和期刊協商是否獨家投稿本刊，以及倘獨家投稿 本刊，本刊承諾在哪個期限之前予以審稿決定等。看起來，法國法學領域 的作者與期刊之間的關係更「對等」︰你挑我，我挑你；你要我獨家投稿 ，我要你限期決定等等。 以下摘錄一段描述美國法學期刊獨家投稿規定之網文的片段供參。 Everything you need to know about exclusive law review submissions https://blog.scholasticahq.com/post/lr-exclusive-submission-track/ More law reviews than ever have begun introducing “exclusive submission track ” options for authors, but the concept is still relatively new to legal scholarship. Are you wondering what “exclusive submissions” means exactly and how the article selection process differs for exclusive papers? ... What are exclusive submission tracks?: Here’s the lowdown At the highest level, exclusive submission tracks are for authors who want to pre-commit their article to a particular law review if accepted for publication there. To do this, the author must commit to submitting exclusively to that one law review for a designated timeframe (usually 1-3 weeks). In general, exclusive submission tracks are a way to help articles editors have time to read through submissions before pressures of offer deadlines from other journals start coming in. This can help reduce the number of expedite requests that law reviews receive and curb instances of exploding offers. In theory, the more authors opt to submit their papers to particular law reviews exclusively, the fewer simultaneous submissions those law reviews (and other law reviews) will have to juggle. In exchange for authors agreeing to submit to them exclusively, some law reviews will promise priority review for exclusive submissions or even guarantee decisions on those articles by a given date. When law reviews can ensure decisions within a set timeframe, exclusive tracks also offer authors the benefit of knowing they will get a reply from their top-choice journal before the article selection cycle is over. That way, the author can either publish with that law review or have time to submit to other options if their article is not accepted. As indicated above, there are different “flavors” of exclusive submission tracks, both in terms of the length of time law reviews require for submission review and what, if any, promises they make, such as priority board review or faster decisions. Additionally, while some law reviews allow exclusive submissions throughout the year, others limit them to generally slower submission periods outside of the peak spring (February through April) and fall (August through October) article selection cycles. And some journals take a hybrid approach allowing exclusive submissions throughout the year but only ensuring decisions for exclusive articles during specific times. For example, Columbia Law Review has a “standard exclusive submission” track and an “early exclusive submission” track offered in the summer months where early submissions are guaranteed a response by August 1st. In most cases, law reviews will allow authors to submit articles that they have previously sent to other journals for exclusive consideration without requiring them to withdraw those other submissions. The only caveat is that the author must agree not to submit to any other journals during their exclusive submission and to honor their promise to accept an offer if extended. ... --
